how to eat healthy when I only have a microwave? I've been buying stuff that's cooked at supermarket and eating out but it's getting too expensive
Jonathan Cruz
I confess that I missed you this past thread and was wondering if you were okay. Also I bought a bag of chips yesterday when I was at the store. 1600 calories right there. Luckily I don't have to go back for another week or so, so I won't be tempted to buy snacks.
Bentley Lee
I set my 2019 goal and am now eating a pizza alone to celebrate the fact that 2018 wasn't that bad. It's okay because still below tdee.
Mason Miller
buy a crock pot, they're 30-40 bucks for a good one but you can get them for cheaper if you want to look around. just cook chicken, veggies, and rice with it
Charles Foster
I bought a hot plate for $16 and it has been a real trooper.
Evan Nelson
How do I go out on new years without drinking n not look autistic?
Lucas Turner
Went home for Christmas and got tons of compliments from my mom and brothers on the weight I lost this year. Then I got the stomach flu, which kept the holiday weight gain off.
Wyatt Davis
plan for it in your diet. order a drink, fill it with ice, and then sip on it over the course of an hour or two. you'll still be "drinking" but it's not like you'll be slamming them back. you have to make sure you don't drink excessively though
Easton Davis
>only guy in my office >5 female coworkers >clients are about 50/50 male/female I've gotten so much candy and cookies and other baked shit this past month, it's awful. I'm glad it's over.
Aaron Bailey
get happy box an fill with notes when happy time happen then read happy box at end of year for smile
Went to a bar and told my friends I wasnt going to drink, got to the bar and got surprised by a friend I havent seen in over a year. Proceeded to get drunk with him. Had 2 long islands, blue moon, rum and coke, gin and tonic, and I think something else. My only saving grace is that the bar served them in small ass glasses, smaller than red solo cups.

Please just fucking end my life I can’t take it anymore
Well, one of the reasons. Eating like a maniac and not working out helped.
Lincoln Collins
I've been binging during Christmas pretty bad. I've realized how fucking shit my diet is. I'm now at 343lbs but I'm gonna be good. The rest of my life starts now.
Logan Peterson
So that's a yes then. I'm 195cm and 90kg
Caleb Hall
Good for you
Benjamin Williams

Nathaniel Foster
THICC. 330 lbs was the wakeup call for me. I'm 240 lbs now. Start right now! Work out, no liquid calories, count calories!
Nicholas Anderson
Not bad user, do you ever feel like you are too tall?
50. 8 until normal BMI but it's going to probably be at least another 18-28 before I hit goal body and that's not even contemplating a bulk and cut cycle if I look like an alien when I get there.
Nathan Hill
ayy lmao brother
Luis White
I can see you dancing as you typed this.
Jackson Carter
70 and 20-30. Losing this last bit is so hard, ive been stuck at the same weight for months and i just keep binging

>How much did you lose 15 lbs. >How much do you have left 45 lbs. I have 39 weeks remaining to reach my goal weight.
Ayden Young
What happens in 39 weeks?
Evan Wood
I go on a long-planned vacation. I want to reach my goal weight and be lighter and happier by that time, so I can make the most of it.

fucking motivational, thanks /fat/
Parker Thompson
Chiseling a new body. I'm proud of you man.
Aaron White
5kg to go until I reach the normal BMI upper bound. though I have some muscle so I don't focus on weight but more on shape and body composition. once a knee injury heals I will try to build some more muscle
Hey guys I have 90lbs to lose to be at my healthy weight again, what should I do to get started to lose weight? Currently have a poor diet and I assume a big stomach so I was thinking of eating nothing for 2 days straight and then start eating a mixture of vegetables, fruit, fish and bread for under 1500 calories? Anything wrong with this plan or anything I should add to it?
Henry Thomas
You don't have to fast for 2 days. It's not going to fuck you up to fast for two days but you don't have to. Get on chronometer or myfitenesspal and make it your bible. Veggies and fish are top tier choices. Be careful with the fruits and breads. A little goes a long way.
Landon Bennett
I would recommend eating cooked grains like quinoa/oats and potatoes instead of bread since they're generally more filling and nutritious
Isaiah King
>How much did you lose 320 lbs to 171 lbs, so lost 149 lbs >How much do you have left my goal weight at 5'10" is 130, so I've got a good 41 lbs left to lose. twinkmode maintenance for life after that, but with the added nastiness of a lot of loose skin. >How did you do it pure CICO over 1.5 years, didn't pay much attention to macros. I already eat meat a lot so maybe a little bit of accidental keto, but definitely not purposely.
Josiah Smith
Number one thing that helped me is writing down everything I ate, I didn't change what I ate I just started the food log first. After a while of doing this I was fucking disgusted with the shit I ate and how many calories were in it and it was easy to switch to a low calorie diet and keep it that way.
Adam Watson
The reason I wanted to do a fast for 2 days is because apparently this shrinks the stomach? I understand bread but why becareful with fruit? Yeah I like oats and potatoes so I can eat that, just worried about the fibre increase and the potential rock for shit I will have for the week.
Brody Bennett
Fruit is better than bread but you can binge on fruit. That's why a little goes a long way. Just eat it to get your vitamins and make sure you're not going beyond that. You can get a lot of the same vitamins from veggies for less of a calorie cost.
Michael Green
I eat 60-80g of fiber daily and i shit once a day. It shouldn't make you constipated
Isaac Moore
Ok yeah I can do that, what should I do with vegetables to make them more edible? I know my taste buds are screwed at the moment due to my poor diet. If you introduce an increase of fibre suddenly it will cause constipation, I would have to gradually increase it from whatever my fibre intake is now to prevent constipation.
Jack Foster
Japan. I want to be light and fit enough to walk all over the place, climb every slope and stair. I want to be able to appreciate all the architecture and vegetation without my fat ass weighing me down and shortness of breath cutting my adventures short. I'm gonna get this fat off and strengthen my body. I'm gonna make it and I have a great reward waiting for me when I do.
Luke Bennett
>what should I do with vegetables to make them more edible? Seasonings and pairing as you're starting out. Eventually you want to get to a point where you can eat them plain but adding a very small amount of salt and herbs to a dish can change it completely. What veggies do you like to eat?
Samuel Powell
Fruit is full of sugar. You'll gain weight if you eat too much of it and it's very easy to do so if you're not mindful because it's sweet, delicious, and generally not filling.
Aiden Thomas
I did so well getting down from 275 to 175, looked good. Now I"m back to 220 and fat again after working a stressful desk job for a year and a half.
FUCK
FUCK
FUCK
Parker Thomas
When i increased my fiber it gave me diarrhea for a little but it went back to normal after a week
Jaxson Walker
That's really cool. I want to go to Japan too but that's a far off maybe I will one day kind of thing. Japan is an island so if you get out of the main plain around Tokyo it's pretty mountainous. Be sure to do a lot of incline walking in prep for it.
Jayden Price
Just because fruit is full of sugar doesn't mean it'll make you gain weight. Most fruit is around 150-250 calories a pound, meaning you'd have to eat at least 10 pounds of fruit daily to gain weight.
Cooper Garcia
I don't mind eating any veggie, it is just I don't know how to prepare a nice tasty veggie dish or salad. I want to eat the rainbow each day if possible. Ah so its natures sweets pretty much, I'll limit them then.
Brayden Wilson
Learning to cook is a valuable skill especially if you're wanting to change your body. Being able to prepare veggies is even better. To start with until you can experiment with various seasonings and sauces for veggies don't be afraid of steam in bag vegetables. Easy as turning on a microwave. First time you should cook veggies is learning how to make a stir fry. It's just a tiny amount of oil (a table spoon or less and coconut preferably) and you just cook the veggies with a meat or fish of your choice until it's ready. It will take getting used to using a chopping knife but that's a good skill to have.

Brandon Williams
I should probably stop weighing myself every day that shit really psyches you out until you can see it in perspective.
Youre probably addicted to sugar. Try zero carb. Im only on day 14 and I feel relatively liberated from my Sugar addiction.
Jeremiah Perry
Then you're never gonna make it
Ethan Cox
then find alternatives like low cal ice creams. i always find myself going through weak states where i eat things that i wish i wouldn't but i always make a comeback and end up going back to watching my macros. it's pretty normal imo as long as you don't go off the far end and gain a ton of weight back. you need SOME kind of discipline to lose weight, you're the only one who can make it happen.
